1. Musk is a putz

That is all.

[CousinIT]

2. Who the hell voted for Muskrat and Cook to represent us in China?

If they want to visit China, they can do so of their own accord and at their own expense.

Our POTUS should not be schlepping these self-important, self-interested billionaires around with him at our expense.

Let them pay their own damn way. I'm so sick of politicians feeding the egos and profits of these schmucks.

[Ritabert]

3. Not to mention Brett Ratner hitching a ride...

...to scout locations for "Rush Hour 4".

[highplainsdem]

4. No one voted for it. The AI bros and tech bros are Trump's allies and supporters. Their AI and their

data centers will be supporting his authoritarian regime, and he'll do whatever he can to increase their profits.

[slightlv]

33. You're right... but there's something else at work here...

THEY seem themselves AS America, itself. The rest of us don't count... and dictatorial world leaders are buying right into it because there's money to be made off these "self-made millionaires." Why expend your capital on the costs of war when you can clean up by playing on these men's insecurities and other mental deficiencies?!

[brakester]

35. Think about how many new contacts

to that corrupt authoriarian regime they are making thanks to fartface!
It is all part of fartface's corrupt scheme to take over the world!

[Hope22]

24. I'm sure T got a large contribution

From the tag a longs!

[flvegan]

5. He should audibly compare Winnie the Pooh to Xi Jinping for a laugh. n/t

[Totally Tunsie]

6. Not a good look on ya', Bro.

Have you tried adulting lately?

[Rebl2]

11. Has he ever?

[DFW]

7. Maybe he's not high. Maybe.....

He is about twenty minutes overdue for a visit to the men’s room, and doesn’t know to ask for it in Mandarin.

[jmbar2]

10. Not farfetched - Ketamine abuse can lead to severe bladder issues

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. This is true.

I still question his use of it. He says it's for "depression" but to use it for that, you have to take a dose that almost knocks you out. "Sub-anesthetic" they say. I take it for depression in bed or laying in a recliner. That's why Matthew Perry never should've taken it and gotten into a hot tub. It's not a "walking around" drug, unless you want to fall flat on your face!

Now, if he were taking it recreationally, I suppose he could take less, but then you're less likely to get the hallucinogenic "fun" effects. It just doesn't add up.

Then again, I don't get why a multi billionaire is "depressed" enough to take Ketamine.

[ToxMarz]

21. Maybe he's high and he needs to use the men's room

To relieve himself and get higher.

[brakester]

36. No,

he is definitely high!
Keep him away from any chainsaws!

[yardwork]

8. His face looks puffy.

[Emile]

9. WTF is he doing in China?

[Swede]

14. Apparently there are no negotiators in the State Department.

So he needs tech bros and realtors to do the heavy lifting.

[PatSeg]

12. These people are disgusting

[PatSeg]

13. These people are disgusting

[Fil1957]

16. This is just embarrassing. If other countries do not respect the U.S., this type of behavior is just one of the many

reasons why.

Got nothing against recreational drugs, but do it on your own time in private, and not in public when you are representing the country whether it be in an official or unofficial capacity.

[PatSeg]

17. I'm picturing the rest of the world

shaking their head, "What happened to the U.S.? They seem to have lost their mind."

[Fil1957]

39. If I was the rest of the world, I wouldn't just be shaking my head, I'd also be scared. Observing the way Musk, Trump

and many others in this administration behave, one can only come to one conclusion: The U.S.; the country with the most powerful military in the world, has gone insane.

[PatSeg]

41. Oh most definitely

We were considered the "essential democracy" to the rest of the free world for decades, but for a country with all our military and economic power to go rogue must be terrifying. No one is safe with so much insanity and uncertainty running the country.

[Moostache]

25. I don't a s much care about other country's respect at this point...

I am worried that I live in a place where art least 45% of the people around me SEE THIS and still say "so? what's the problem?"

[brakester]

37. My thought is

about 30%. That's his poll numbers now.

[Duncan Grant]

15. Some people are so poor all they have is money.

This is the man who has the power to alleviate vast swaths of human suffering — instead he’s the eternal adolescent. The world is his frat party. What a waste.

[PatSeg]

18. Amazing isn't it?

He is in a position to do almost anything. He could make a huge difference in the world and create a true legacy, but for people like him, nothing will ever be enough.

All that money and he will never be happy. Meanwhile, however, he will make huge numbers of people miserable.

[PatSeg]

19. dupe

20. About Chinese banquets

Long story. During last 15 years of my 28 years in the Army, I specialized in Chinese affairs -- intell operations and analysis, Chinese language school, travel in and around China, ditto for assignments. (Started as an artillery officer but due to things that happened in Vietnam, could not stay in a combat arms, transferred to intell).

Chinese banquets feature several dishes -- one after another, 3-4 soups, meats, veggies, etc., etc.

Banquets require toasts using mao tai -- a fierce homebrew that can serve as paint thinner. Your place is set with a small glass. You start the banquet by toasting the host, the occasion, etc. Each toast is accompanied by the shout "gan bei" -- "dry glass" -- English equivalent is "bottoms up." It is impolite to not empty the glass -- which is immediately refilled.

As each new dish arrives, the toast is "yo lai shin tsai" -- "now comes a new dish" -- and then "gan bei."

After the initial toasts and after toasting the first 3-4 dishes . . . . only the strong survive.

22. Old saying that I carry with me to this day

"You will be challenged at dinner."

Always good to hear stories from a FAO.

[FakeNoose]

23. I would have bribed the waiter to fill my glass with water

Not that I have anything against alcohol, far from it. But I would prefer to get through the dinner first.

[GiqueCee]

26. Trump is a teetotaler...

... so, gotta wonder how he got through dinner.
What a pitiful clown show. It's sickening.

[relogic]

28. Who needs pickled, Chinese century eggs on the menu?

At the customary pace for refilling the glass (once empty) preserved, pickled livers would be the outcome.

[CaptainTruth]

27. Your description of mao tai is exactly what I said, paint thinner.

On one of my first trips to China with a business colleague he said "sit next to the plant," a potted plant (ficus tree or similar) at one corner of the table. The idea being that maybe we could discreetly toss the mao tai into the pot without anyone noticing.

He was joking of course but it was practical advice.

[brakester]

38. OMG

!!!!!

[John1956PA]

29. I watched the second video. Musk's facial expressions look like . . .

. . . those of Lloyd Bridges's character in his final scene in "Airplane" (1980), right down to the squinting and grinning.

30. If only I could find a Death Note....

[Blue Owl]

31. Hey man... have you ever used AI to cut a bunch of jobs... ON KETAMINE?

[The Madcap]

32. He's either stoned or drunk...hard to tell.

No wonder the Cybertruck is so goofy looking, given its leader.

Also, that Steven Cheung sure has a pointy head. See the second video when it pans to Eloon's right.

[AZJonnie]

40. Stoned meant drunk before it meant high on pot.

So the word works for either

Along the same lines, dope referred to opiates before it was later used to refer to mj.

[The Madcap]

44. I took "stoned" as high on something.

With billionaires, you never know if it's some sort of "special" substance that's illegal for we peasants.

[ImNotGod]

42. The nepo nazi is a fuckin waste of human flesh. nt
